Silavê. Greetings.
Dikarî ji me ra behsa ziraeta gund bikî, hûn li gund çi diçînin, çi dar û cema hene? Can you tell us about the agriculture of the village, what do you plant in the village, what trees and crops are there?
Li gund wekî hemî gundê Efrînê, In the village, like all the villages of Afrin,
zeytûna diçînin, bi dîmek, they plant olives, as rain-fed,
sêva diçînin, henara diçînin, they plant apples, they plant pomegranates,
hirmîya diçînin, xoxa diçînin. Çi tiştê diçandina mantaqa Efrînê me'rûf e, they plant pears, they plant peaches. Whatever is planted in the Afrin region is known,
mintaqa istiqrarê ewla bi muhafezeta Helebê da, gelek tiştê diçandin. it is the first stability zone in the Aleppo governorate, they plant many things.
Û tiştê pir diçînin, yanî ew bi nisbet dar û fêkî. Û yê tiştê din jî mesele wekî... wekî xidre jî diçînin. And the things they plant a lot, that is, in terms of trees and fruits. And other things too, for example... they also plant vegetables.
Îsota diçînin, kundira, kusa, They plant peppers, pumpkins, zucchinis,
nîska, cehê, genim, yensûn, reşreşko, gelek tiştan diçînin. lentils, barley, wheat, anise, nigella seeds, they plant many things.
Mamoste niha em dibînin çandina tiştî herî navdar... Teacher, now we see planting... what is the most famous thing planted...
Li gundê Şera ê pir, çi ye? In the village of Şera, the most, what is it?
Nuka cîranên we hene, meselen em dibînin wekî Basûtê, bi hinarê tê naskirin. For example, you have neighbors, for example we see like Basute, it is known for pomegranates.
Her tiştek, her gundek bi tiştekî tê naskirin. Meselen ev derê, bi çi tê naskirin? Everything, every village is known for something. For example, here, what is it known for?
Ku wexta tê gotin "Şera"... When it's said "Şera"...
Şera bi zeytûnê xwe û zeytê xwe tê naskirin. Zeytê Şera... Şera is known for its olives and its oil. The oil of Şera...
naskirî ye li ser mistewa mintaqa Efrîn, zeytê herî baş e yanî li mintaqê da. is known at the level of the Afrin region, it is the best oil in the region.
Û zeytûnê gund da, darên zeytûnê pir in li Şera. And the olives of the village, olive trees are plentiful in Şera.
Û xêncî wê hûn çandiniya dexlûdanê çi dikin? And besides that, what do you plant in terms of cereals?
El cema me got, dexl diçînin, ceh diçînin, nîska, noka, As we said, they plant cereals, they plant barley, lentils, chickpeas.
Nûha hacer da heye, jiber ku ev wadayê Sûrî weha çêbûye, Now there are changes, because of the situation that happened in Syria,
berê gund wusa tişt nediçandin, am bi reşreşkê diçînin, yensûnê diçînin, kemûnê diçînin. in the past the village didn't plant such things, now we plant nigella seeds, we plant anise, we plant cumin.
Berê ev tiştana me nediçandin, yanî encama civakên hatin, We didn't plant these things before, meaning as a result of the communities that came,
ji Îdlibê û Himsê hatin, van evana bi xwe re anîn, gundê me jî fêr bû van tiştana diçîne. they came from Idlib and Homs, they brought these with them, our village also learned to plant these things.
Beriya wê yanî we digot tenê erdî wî an jî we nedizanî biçînin? Before that, I mean, did you say only its land, or did you not know how to plant it?
Na, ew nedikir yanî, min nedîgo qezenc tê heye, yek. No, we didn't do it, I didn't say there is profit in it, one.
Û a diduyan jî, yanî bav û kalên me meselen genim û ceh e, nîsk e, nok e, tiştên wusa diçandin. Wan nediwêribûn biçin ew û... And secondly, our ancestors, for example, planted wheat, barley, lentils, chickpeas, things like that. They didn't dare to go there and...
lê nika jiyan tê guhertin, mecbûr î van tiştan diçînî. Bus ser zikê ev şerê Sûrîyê çêbû, but now life is changing, you are forced to plant these things. Especially because of this Syrian war that happened,
ev tiştê ecêb hatin, nika gund diçîne van tiştan a, erê wilo ne. these strange things came, now the village plants these things, yes, that's how it is.
Xalê min. Gund li dor we hene, hemî tabîyê nehiyê Şera ne. Tabîyê navçeya we ne. My uncle. There are villages around you, all belong to the Şera sub-district. They belong to your district.
Hevna li pateta diçînin. They also plant potatoes.
Di navçeya Şera jî pateta heye? Are there potatoes in the Şera district too?
Pateta heye hîsa li cîrankî me ye, vêra dibên gundê Heylan yan Meselê, Evû Şêxo... There are potatoes, right now in our neighborhood, they call it the village of Heylan or Mesele, Evu Şêxo...
Li deşta Xirêbê pateta tê çandin, hîsa tê çandin. Potatoes are planted in the Xirêbe plain, right now they are planted.
Nexwe selef e, belkî salê tê em jî biçînin, pateta hîsa tê yan sûc tê dîtin. It's an advance, maybe next year we'll plant too, potatoes are now seen as a profitable crop.
Nika em ji alîyê çandinî me xelas kir. Now we are finished with the agricultural side.
Erê. Yes.
Vê darê am li bin rûniştin e. This tree we are sitting under.
Erê. Yes.
Berî am rûniştin te ji min ra go çîrokek wê heye. Tu dikarî ji me ra behsa vê darê bikî. Before we sat down, you told me it has a story. Can you tell us about this tree?
Tu xudê ser vê darê ji me re bîje... For God's sake, tell us about this tree...
Ev dara me xwedî nediye, emrê min nika pêncî û heft sal e, ev dara me hebû. I didn't see the owner of this tree... I am fifty-seven years old now, this tree was here.
Û me ji bavikê xwe pirskir digot ew wextê, And we asked our grandfathers, they said at that time,
milîs hebûn... milîs hebûn, there were militias... there were militias,
evna mutetewi' bûn cem cêşê Ferensî. these were volunteers with the French army.
Û wextê hena mirîd hebûn, And when there were disciples,
dîsa ev dar hebû, dihatin li vê derê li bin vê darê şikeftek hebû, dihatin vê derê xwe vedişartin. Da vegerin Şera yekê, this tree was still here, they would come here, there was a cave under this tree, they would come here and hide. To go back to Şera, someone,
asê bikirana, batmîş bikirana, dizî bikirana, derbikirana... to harass, to bother, to steal, to beat...
Yanî ev dar gorî em ji mezinên xwe dibihîsin, yanî emrê vê darê gelek e, zêdetirî sed salî ye. I mean, this tree, according to what we hear from our elders, the age of this tree is a lot, it's more than a hundred years old.
Zêdetirî sed salî ye. More than a hundred years old.
Di sala du hezar û hejdeha da, In the year two thousand and eighteen,
meha Nîsanê, wextê şerê Efrînê çêbû, ez li vê derê li mala xwe bi tenê bûm. in the month of April, when the Afrin war happened, I was here in my house all alone.
Hev qismek mezin hejî ji van kesên çekdar, yanî darên me dibirrîn. A large part of these armed people, they were cutting our trees.
Hatin yekî vê darê bibirre, ez hatim pêşiya wî û min nehişt. One came to cut this tree, I stood in front of him and didn't let him.
Û min got min bibirrin evê na, min nehîşt vê darê vebirrin, min nehişt vê darê hûn vebirrin. And I said "Cut me, but not this", I didn't let them cut this tree, I didn't let you cut this tree.
Min bi wan cebirî xwe kir. I forced them.
Ê pirrên darên hatin qutkirin, darên mezin û stûr bi umr. Many trees were cut down, big, thick, and old trees.
Ev dar filitî ye, yanî dorkê dêrê wek ku min got yek mezin heye din li vî dêrê... ew jî filitî ye wê derê hew jî darê gêlber e. This tree survived. I mean, around the church, as I said, there is another big one over there... that one survived too, that is also a gelber tree.
Bi erebî jê re dibêjin Bellût Rûmanî. In Arabic, they call it Roman oak.
Ev dar yanî eve... This tree, so this...
Bi Kurdî em jê re dibêjin Gêlber e, bi erebî jê re dibêjin Bellût Rûmanî. In Kurdish, we call it Gelber, in Arabic, they call it Roman oak.
Yanî em kanin bibêjin temenê wê bi dîtîr teqrîben pêncsed sal e? Şeşsed sal e? Zêdetir e? So we can say its age is approximately five hundred years? Six hundred years? More?
Ez nizanim, bes zêdetirî sed salî ye. Bidqet ciqas e ez nizanim. I don't know, but it is more than a hundred years old. Exactly how much, I don't know.
Û li bin darê kum nabin? And don't people gather under the tree?
Li bin darê xelkê gund... em bibêjin, jinên gund... Under the tree, the village people... let's say, the women of the village...
dihatin vira, havînê û biharê, dihatin rûdiniştin... wextê zivistanê sar e kes nedihat... they used to come here, in summer and spring, they would come and sit... in winter it's cold, nobody came...
Lê jinên gund, tê di wextê biharê, tên rûdinên jixwere tiştên xwe çêdikin, bi qîçkê xwe ra dilîzin. But the women of the village, they come in the spring, they come and sit, make their things, play with their kids.
Yanî ew dar a gund giştan e, yanî ewa... malek çû xatirê cemaetê gund diçû, aîle yek gund e yanî... I mean, that tree belongs to the whole village, I mean... if one family goes for the sake of the village community, the village is one family...
Nika ev wek em amancan, em amanc, em ji mezinên Şaroyan mezinên gund... Now, as our goal, our goal, from the elders of Şera, the elders of the village...
Naxwe hûn wekî hûn dibînin gund da qisûriyek heye? Daxwazek heye? Çi dixwazin? So, do you see any shortcomings in the village? Is there a request? What do you want?
Meselen nexwe daxwaz gellek nin in ji we ra... Bes te dît yanî qisûr hene, mezelen, hene dar û tişt hatin qut kirin, te dît birrîn. For example, we don't have many requests from you... But as you can see, there are shortcomings, for example, trees and things were cut down, you saw they were cut.
Mezelen elwahên xelkê tiştan dizîn, mezelen xelkê li bin laweyên xwe xew dikirin... yanî ma'nî na tenê dizîn, di gund de van tiştan bi gund dikin, yanî ha ev na... For example, they stole people's solar panels and things, for example, people used to sleep under their panels... I mean, they didn't just steal, they do these things in the village, I mean, these...
Û mezelen xizmet gundîya bi gund nakin... hîç tunne ye, yanî tu gundîyek ev tiştan naxwazin, tenê ew tiştin. And for example, they don't do any village services for the village... there is none, I mean, no villager wants these things, it's just those things.
Ji ber vê çêtir dibe. It would be better than this.
Spasiya te dikim xalo, siheta te xweş. I thank you, uncle, health to you.
Siheta we jî xweş, spas jibo we jî. Health to you too, thanks to you too.
Siheta te xweş be, xwedê emrê te dirêj bike xalo. May you be healthy, may God give you a long life, uncle.
Siheta we. Your health.

Dibe ez xwara binirim, balê xa pê da. I should look down and pay attention,
Hem mantiqa, mantiqa Efrînê, lê binirin çiqas xweş û şêrîn e. The region, the region of Efrin, look how beautiful and sweet it is.
Gul û kilav da ye, baxçe û badilê de, xwedê da şêrîn e. It is surrounded by flowers, gardens and valleys, God made it sweet.
Era dibêjim sibê, xerbî û xunav di ser e. I wake up in the morning, the dew and mist are upon it.
Wek zêr û cewher e, dila me e hember çavê me re. It is like gold and jewels, to our hearts and in front of our eyes.
Her balê xwe diçerxê da rew te, Wherever you turn your attention to,
Bêhna xweş tîne, rehetiyê dilê me ra bixwe tîne. It brings a sweet smell, it brings comfort to our hearts.
Heva Efrîn e, xwara binirin. This is Efrin, look down.
Dar û berê xa, xêr û bereketê xa, Its trees and surroundings, its good and blessings,
Çiqas tê dîne. You can see how much there is.
Heger xêr û bereketê xa, heva ji mantiqa Efrînê e, j'ava Efrînê ye. If it has good and blessings, it is from the region of Efrin, from the water of Efrin.
Ha lê binirin çiqas xweş û şêrîn e. Look at it, how beautiful and sweet it is.
Xweş û şêrîn e, vaye şebabê de me. It is beautiful and sweet, here are our youths.
Va ye anîsêt me. Here are our girls.
Çiqas xweş û şêrîn in. How beautiful and sweet they are.
Wek xakê d' me ne. They are like our soil.
Lê binirin çiqas te'b û heyat dîne. Look at how much effort and life you see.
L' mantiqê Efrîn, rehetbûn û canê xa, In the region of Efrin, their comfort and souls,
L' hev dîtine. They found it together.
Dibê ez xweş im û baş im, They say, "I am happy and well,"
L' mantiqa Efrînê me. Em rûniştine, "I am in the region of Efrin. We are sitting,"
L' nav baxçê mantiqa Efrînê ye. "In the gardens of the Efrin region."
Em çiqas bibêjin hindik e û şêrîn e. No matter how much we say, it's little, and it's sweet.
Em çiqas bibêjin hindik e û şêrîn e. Rax hava Efrîn e, Efrîn. No matter how much we say, it's little, and it's sweet. Just look, this is Efrin, Efrin.
Di xwînê me da, canê me da, In our blood, in our soul,
Di hereketê da re tê nav tê dilê me, hav Efrîn e. In our movements, it comes into our hearts, this is Efrin.
E bibêjim çi, What can I say,
E bibêjim çi û ne bêjim çi. What can I say and what shouldn't I say.
Ji xwînê me baştir e, ji dilê me baştir e. It's better than our blood, better than our hearts.
Ev navê xa Efrîn e. Its name is Efrin.
Wê saeta we xweş be. Çiqas xweş û şêrîn e. Ana l' wa dinêrim, May you be well. How beautiful and sweet it is. Now I am looking at you,
Ba dar û berê xa, xêr û bereketê, With its trees and surroundings, good and blessings,
Va Efrînî, em pê çavê xa dibînin. Here are the people of Efrin, we see them with our own eyes.
Wê saeta we xweş be. May you be well.
Merheba xalo can. Hello dear uncle.

Naha ez navê te, ê seet radim, ez ji te... ez dihatim, Now I [wanted to ask] your name, wait, I was coming from...
Dengê te bala min kişand. Ez ji nav dar a da derketim. Your voice caught my attention. I came out from between the trees.
Ez hatim gihîştime cem te, min nexwest ez peyivên te muqata'e bikim derbas bim. I came and reached you, I didn't want to interrupt your words.
Ez û te nas bikin, navê te... Let's get to know you, your name...

Ez ji Xirabêma Şera, rûniştiyê me. I reside in Xirabema in Shara.
Belê. Xwedê navê wî da Cemîl hezar Cemîl bin. Yes. God gave him the name Jamil, may there be a thousand Jamils.
Belê. Yes.
Danaka jî va ezm e... Now too, here I am...
Dextê nefsa serê me çêbûye. We had psychological pressure.
Em hatine Efrînê, We came to Efrin,
Me dît Efrîn dî, We saw Efrin again,
Me nav Efrînê... heva cineta dinê ye, li erdê tê dîne. We [are] in Efrin... this is the paradise of the world, you see it on earth.
Cineta dinê ye, li Efrînê tê dîne. It is the paradise of the world, you see it in Efrin.
Te ku weha ji me re behs dikir, te çawa weha helbest da hev? How did you put together such a poem when you described it to us?
Bi çi awayî te helbest da hev? In what way did you put the poem together?
Ez... wisa kî, ne bi ti... min çê nekiriye. I... like, not with anything... I didn't write it.
Ez... ev saniyekê, nifsa min dirêj e. Isanetiya hez dikim. I... this second, my breath is long. I love humanity.
Miriyê isanetiya hez dikim. I love humanity to death.
U ji xwînê xa hez dikim. U ji Efrînê hez dikim. Bi xa şerê te... And I love my blood. And I love Efrin.
Ev helbesta te ya te ezber kirî ye... te... tu... This poem of yours that you memorized... you... you...
Ez di bêjim, xwendina min nîne... I say, I don't know how to read...
Belê. Yes.
Serê xwe da dibêjim. I compose it in my head.
Bi zimanê xwe dibêjim. I say it in my language.
Le ene em hatine Efrînê, helê binirin, dor û xa binirin. Çiqas xweş û şêrîn e. Because we came to Efrin, look, look around yourselves. How beautiful and sweet it is.
Ser ne xweşin bi dil, te rehet bibe bi can, bîne. Don't be unhappy in your heart, find comfort in your soul, smell it.
Heva Efrîn e Efrîn, cineta dinê li erdê tê dîne. This is Efrin, Efrin, the paradise of the world you see on earth.
Helê binire xêr û bereketê xa, Look at its good and blessings,
Wek va gulê aştîkerî gişpik dibe erda. Like this rose blooming on the ground.
Wek keça wek ê te, sibê xerbî, xunav di ser a, Like a girl like you, in the morning the dew and mist are upon her,
Balê dexa... dilê me ye wek zêr û cewher a, Wherever you look... our hearts are like gold and jewels,
Her bînin diçî bînê, xweş tê me ra, dilê me ra bijîtî ye, wecê hesîn a. Whenever you smell it, it's pleasant to us, it gives life to our hearts, a nice face.
Ev navê xwe, keça Efrîn e. Its name is, the daughter of Efrin.
Maşallah! Mashallah!
Xalê min, di kamerayê de jî binere û em bêjin... My uncle, look at the camera too and let's say...
Tiştekî ji xelkê Efrînê re bibêje. Say something to the people of Efrin.
Çawa muhafeze ser Efrînê bikin. Bi çi awayî ye... tu dixwazî di kamerayê binere û... How should they protect Efrin. In what way... you want to look at the camera and...
Tiştek bêje. Say something.
Em dibêjin hava Efrîn e. We say this is Efrin.
Va şebabê me... Here are our youth...
Keçê me, Our girls,
Heta nefesê me heye... As long as we have breath...
Em li hember mantiqa Efrîn in. We are facing the region of Efrin.
Le en eva mantiqa Efrîn heley binira çiqas xweş û şêrîn e. Because this region of Efrin, look how beautiful and sweet it is.
Se em muhafezetê lê nekin... ma wê kesek were lê bike? If we do not protect it... will someone else come to do it?
Se em ji evlê mantiqa Efrîn in, xwînê me ji Efrîn e, em ê muhafeze bikin heta xwînê me di damarê me ye ne. Because we are from this region of Efrin, our blood is from Efrin, we will protect it as long as our blood is in our veins.
Eva Efrîn, dilê me ye, Efrîn e. This Efrin, it is our heart, it is Efrin.
Ez himtî diçî canê min... xortê me kalê me pîrê me, I hope all my soul... our youth, our old men, our old women,
Em bi xwînê xwe... bi canê xwe... We with our blood... with our souls...

Bi ev dara bidin û bistînin, Give and take with these trees,
Em çû Efrînê xwe şêrîn bikin û li hemberê alemê dî nin. Let's make our Efrin sweet and present it to the world.
Wek gulê aştîkerî sibê xerbî lê dixe û datîne. Like a blooming rose in the morning that the dew hits and settles on.
Xelkê me Efrînê, ewîsa... ji evda hez bikin... Our people of Efrin, like this... love it from here...
Destê xwe destê hev bikin. Hold hands with each other.
Wekî xalê min gotî, em ê bi vê awayî Efrînê bi pêş xînin. As my uncle said, we will advance Efrin in this way.
Spasiya te dikim xalê min. I thank you, my uncle.
Seheta te xweş be, baş bî. May you be well, be good.
Seeta te xweş, ez gelekî kêfxweş im bi te. Ji ber ku di vê bîstanê da, me da te, û me gul... deng kirina te xweşik bû, û me gul helbesta te nû, May you be well, I am very happy with you. Because in this orchard, we found you, and we heard your beautiful voice, and we heard your new poem,
Bi hêvî me ku, ev eşqê te her e, xwedê sihetê xweş bide te, xwedê umrêkî dirêj bide te. Xwedê te ji me ra bihêle. I hope that, this love of yours continues, may God give you good health, may God give you a long life. May God keep you for us.
Belê tamşevanên meyî hêja, niha em li navenda navçeya Şera ne. Yes, our dear viewers, now we are in the center of the Shara district.
Li paş me tiştek heye jê re dibêjin meqbes e. Behind us is something they call an olive press.
Ev meqbes e dibêjin ku gelekî kevn e. They say this olive press is very old.
Destpêkê min got qey, ev ciyekî kavil e. At first I thought, this is a place of ruins.
Lê hinek ji min re gotin ku navê wê şikeft e. But some told me that it is called a cave.
Na, ev meqbes e. No, this is an olive press.
Naha em ê derbasî cem muxtarê gundê Şera bibin. Ya jî navçeya Şera bibin, Now we will go to the mukhtar of the village of Shara. Or rather the district of Shara,
Wê ji me re çîroka vê meqbesê hewal bide. He will tell us the story of this olive press.
Merheba mamoste. Hello sir.
Ehl û sehlen ehlîn. Welcome, welcome.
Em te nas bikin destpêkê. Let us get to know you first.
Muxtarê Şera Îbrahîm Îbrahîm. Mukhtar of Shara, Ibrahim Ibrahim.
Ser çava. Nice to meet you.
Sax bî ehl û sehlen. Bless you, welcome.
Em dixwazin te hinekî behsa vê meqbesê bikî. Berî çend sala hatiye çêkirin? Yan çêbûye? We want you to talk a little bit about this olive press. How many years ago was it built? Or made?
Ev meqbes e ji hezar salî da ye. This olive press is from a thousand years ago.
Ji gund û ava zemanê berê da ye. Since the village was built, in the old times.
Ev meqbes e, berî ku ev aletan derneketin, li ser kevir dişuxilîn, This olive press, before these machines came out, they worked on stones,
U l' ser wekî ku dibêjin cilko... And on what they call olive press mats...
Belê. Yes.
Havo yanî tê da zeytûn di'esirandin zeyt derdixistin. Tebe'en, erê. In this, they pressed olives and extracted oil. Naturally, yes.
Evna ji hezar salî da ye. Kevn e. These are from a thousand years ago. It is old.
U kî tê da kar dikir? And who worked in it?
Amal e. Workers.
Amal e yanî ji Şera ne? Workers, meaning from Shara?
Erê bixwe ji Şera bûn. Yes, they were from Shara themselves.
Bi wextê da em karin bibêjin ku sekinîye? At what time can we say it stopped?
Yanî çi wext bi edî teqez sekinî? Yanî ne şuxilî. I mean, when did it definitely stop? Like it didn't work.
Ji pêncî da. Since the fifties.
Ji salê pêncî da texmînen sekinî ye. It has approximately stopped since the year fifty.
Belê. Yes.
Erê. Yes.
Yanî em kanin bibêjin ku xelkê Şera ava kir, lê belê ev wek şikeft e. So can we say that the people of Shara built it, but this is like a cave.
Na evan çi bûn, evan meqbes bûn. Şikeft çêbûn. No, these were what, these were olive presses. They were made as caves.
U şuxilî. Û tê zanî wexta weha guherî û alet hatin, derî hatin, sekinî. Ji mêj sekinî ye. And it worked. And you know when it changed like this and machines came, doors came, it stopped. It has been stopped for a long time.
Ev pirs e ji min, ku çima weha bi vî awayî çêkirin? Wek şikeft. My question is, why did they build it this way? Like a cave.
Ê berê wa na bûn. Adetên berê wa na bûn. Çimento tunebû, belûk tunebû, amale derdixistin... bi hev dixişandin. Well, it wasn't like this in the past. The customs of the past weren't like this. There was no cement, there were no blocks, the workers extracted the stones... and fitted them together.
Tê bîra te kesên ku di vir da şuxilîne destpêkê? Do you remember the people who worked here at the beginning?
Na, a ez te ra dibêjim, ev dused salî da ye, sêsed salî da heye. No, I am telling you, this has been here for two hundred years, three hundred years.
Yanî wekî em bêjin kalê we... we dîtine? I mean like let's say your grandfather... did you see them?
Na, tebe'en. Em kalê xwe nedîtin e. No, naturally. We haven't seen our grandfather.
Û wekî meqbesên dîn... hûn nabînin... yanî nîn in? And like other olive presses... you don't see them... meaning there aren't any?
Na. Tebe'en wekî wan nîn in. Niha ku meqbes wek berê... berê kevir hebûn, cilk hebûn... kabase hebûn, niha gî alet in. Giş tişt hadîs çêbûye, edî ne... tiştek nayê tiştekî namîne. No. Naturally there are none like those. Now that an olive press like before... before there were stones, there were mats... there were presses, now everything is machines. Everything has become modern, so it doesn't... nothing is possible, nothing is left.
Niha wekî min dîtiye hûndirê wê wekî vala ye. Ez zanim meqbes gerek e tije kevir be. Gerek di ciyê de tişt hebe. Çima naha evna vala ne û tiştek tuneye? Now as I have seen its inside is empty. I know an olive press should be full of stones. There should be things in their places. Why are these empty now and there is nothing?
Ê ji mêj de rakirine. Oh they removed them a long time ago.
Kê rakirine? Who removed them?
Ma ez nizanim. Em rastî nehatine. Well I don't know. We haven't encountered it.
Spasiya te dikim. I thank you.
Selamet bî. Ehl û sehlen. Selametî. Be well. Welcome. Be well.

Destpêkê em xwe nas bikin, ji Şaroyê ne? First, let's get to know you, are you from Sharo?
Ji gundî ne. We are from the village.
Erê ji Şaroyê, Şaro ciyê me xweş e. Yes, from Sharo. Sharo is a beautiful place.
Xweş e. It is beautiful, isn't it?
Hinekî tu dikarî ji me re qala jinên Şaroyê û we çi karî dikir, bikî? Could you tell us a bit about the women of Sharo and what work you used to do?
Em çi kar dikirin, em karê malê dikirin, em qeçkan xwedî dikirin, em hawa ... kar dikirin. What work did we do? We did household chores, we took care of the children, we worked.
Karê nav bîstan û deran we nedikir? Didn't you work in the fields and outside?
Na bîstan, der nediketina nava bîstan çûn, bîstan ne man. Karê mal a û heywan a qeçik in. No, we didn't go out to the fields. The fields are gone now. It was household chores, the yard, and the children.
Hesab bike min mîsalekî... tu xwestîkî noka ... qîz karê şik nakin. Noka berê, gava em dihatine xwestin, me karî dikir yan tişt dikirin, kes nedikir? Imagine I was asking for someone's hand now... girls don't do chores anymore. Back then, when someone asked for our hand, did we do work, or did nobody do anything?
Niha ey berê me da çûn paleyê, cencer hebûn, bêder hebûn, ê noka ew tişt qe nîn in. In the past we used to go to the harvest, there were water jugs, there were threshing floors, but now those things are completely gone.
Ewe mîsalek we da. Mesele an dihat bîrê wa... te bîra wa ye. Em xwestyekî... gava em we dixwest... yanî te didît meyl a wek we ... xwestin ... we didît ... we qîz nedi... Give us an example. Whether you remember it or not, when someone asked for your hand, when they made a request... did you give the girl away, or...
Ema bo we mîsal ez bêjim. That's just an example for you.
Na bo mîsal tu gava qîzek ji mala te bixwazin, te çi dikir? No, just as an example, when they asked for a girl from your house, what did you do?
Ser zemanê berê, em xwestek dikir. Heftekî pêşda tedarokê dewetê dikirin. In the old days, we would make the request. We would start preparing for the wedding a week in advance.
Belê. Yes.
Mala bûkê ew tedarok amade dikirin. Cihaz kom dikirin, cihaz didan taqan da, bona cîranan dikirin. The bride's family would prepare the dowry. They gathered the dowry, placed it in the wall niches, and did this for the neighbors to see.
Belê. Yes.
Jê re çi kom dikirin de taqan da. Firt bûn, balgî bûn, orxan bûn, tiştê malê bûn. What did they gather in the niches? There were mattresses, pillows, blankets, and household items.
Mala zava jî dawet dikirin. The groom's family also held a wedding celebration.
Belê. Yes.
Û tedaroka xwe aşker dikirin. And they openly showed their preparations.
Hm. Hm.
Jinên mezin gundik... mezin gund de kom dikirin. They would gather the elder women of the village.
Çi dikirin xaltîk? What did they do, auntie?
Tirşik germe dikirin. They made sour soup and hot wheat soup.
Hm. Hm.
Şîv dikirin, dar dikirin, tedaroka dewetê dikirin. Xwendin bo mal û gundan dikirin, digotin filan gund... falan mal falan gund, tevzi dikirin. They made dinner, arranged the firewood, and prepared for the wedding. They sent invitations to families and villages, announcing it to this village or that house, distributing them.
Belê. Yes.
Her kesî tedaroka mîvanên xwe dikir. Rojê dawetê ew keşk û ew şîva dibû. Everyone prepared for their guests. On the wedding day, there was that kashk and that dinner.
Malbata gund ew gişk lê hev kom dibûn... keşk dixwarin. The whole village family gathered together... and ate the kashk.
Û paşî diçûn bûkê xwe ji gundê din, wile ji gund bû, siwar dikirin li ser hespê, dianîn davêtin mala zava. Then they went to get their bride from another village, since it was a village, they put her on a horse, and brought her to the groom's house.
Zava diçû ser xênî şekir û perê bi ser da dikirin... The groom would go up to the roof and throw sugar and coins down...
Perê çawa dikirin? What kind of money did they throw?
Perê nigil. Coins.
Eh. Ah.
Û şekir nav tevlîhev dikirin û diçûn ser deriyê. E caran di avêtin ser xênî ser bûkê de di weşandin... They mixed it with sugar and went to the door. Sometimes they threw it from the roof down onto the bride...
Bûk û zava hine dikir yan na? Did they put henna on the bride and groom or not?
Berî dawetê rûkê hine dikir malê bavê bûkê... Before the wedding, they applied henna on the bride at her father's house...
Ku tu ji min ra li ser hinê... hinê we çawa dikir? Can you tell me about the henna... how did you do the henna?
Hinê çawa dikirin. Hinê diçûn gazî malbatê dikirin, bona cîran dikirin, çûn mala ku mezin e, wek zemana berê mala ko qentirme ye, malek mezin milet lê kom dibû û bona mêvanên xwedê... Hinê xwe çê dikirin. How did they do the henna... They called the family, called the neighbors, and went to a big house, like the old arched houses, a big house where all the people gathered, for the guests... They prepared the henna.
Bûk hine dikir û jinkeke mezin a mala zava, gundilekek... destê xwe de girtibû... They applied henna on the bride, and an elder woman from the groom's family held a small pouch in her hand...
Û pere ji bûkê re, zava re kom dikirin. Pere kom dikirin dikirin hinê. And they collected money for the bride and groom. They gathered the money during the henna.
Eh. Ah.
Her kesê wê wextî li gor halê xwe, perê çi hebû didan. At that time, everyone gave whatever money they had, according to their means.
Paşî reqis, kilam... we çawa dikir? Kîja kilam te bîrê ke? Then the dancing, the songs... how did you do it? Which songs do you remember?
Wela ez nizanim havêla. By God, I don't know, my friend.
Xaltîk, te qet nizanî bû? Auntie, you really didn't know?
Ne wela, ez nizanim havalokê min... hin kilam digotin, lîlî dikirin, di reqisîn... No, by God, I don't know, my friend... they sang songs, ululated, and danced...
Kî ji min ra hinekî digot... we... te bîra xwe... tiştê havalên te... te nizanî te havalên te... tiştê... we teştek çawa... teştek... çi dikirin? Can someone tell me... do you remember... the things your friends did... didn't you know... what did they do with the basin?
Digotin... teştek... teştek av dikirin... ax li xasiyê dikirin. They used to say... the basin... they put water in the basin... they put soil on the mother-in-law.
Xaltîk tu diza tu xesiya bûkê bû, xwe xesiya bûkê dikirin, te wê demê çi dikir? Auntie, did you know when they made the bride's mother-in- law, what did you do at that time?
Xasiyê bûkê... xasiyê bûkê hine nakin... yan na zava û bûkê hine kin û da havalokan digotin, lîlî dikirin, direqisiyan. The bride's mother-in-law... they don't put henna on the mother-in-law... otherwise they put henna on the groom and bride, the friends sang, ululated, and danced.
Spasiyê didim, xaltîk. I thank you, auntie.
Saet te xweş be. May you be healthy.
Saet te jî xweş xaltîk. Have a good time, auntie.
Amin. Amen.
Ya rebî... Oh Lord...

Temaşevanên me yên hêja. Naha em derbasî mehmaseyê bûn. Ya ji me re bêjin mehmase, ev cîhazên gundê me fistiq û behîv, gûz û ew meqeserat e... Ew di fistiqan de, fistiqên em bêjin bi qawirandin... tehms dikin, paşê dikin tûr û we difroşin. Our dear viewers. We have now moved to the roastery. What we call a roastery, these machines in our village roast pistachios, almonds, walnuts, and those nuts... In the pistachios, let's say roasted pistachios... they roast them, then put them in bags, and sell them.
Em naha hatin derbasî mehmaseyê dîtîn. Ew di nav cîhazê xwe de... amedekirîne. Emê niha ji vir bipirsin ka ev mehmese çawa tê çêkirin û çawa kar dikin. Bi me re bimînin, werin temaşe bikin. We have now entered and seen the roastery. They have prepared them in their machines. We will now ask here how this roasting is done and how they work. Stay with us, come and watch.

Merheba. Hello.
Selam aleykum. Peace be upon you.
Em te nas bikin? Can we get to know you?
Eymen Kurd Ebdê. Ji Şaroyê me. Ayman Kurd Abde. I am from Sharo.
Xwediyê vê mehmeseyê tu yî? Are you the owner of this roastery?
Belê. Yes.
Ez dixwazim ku hinekî tu qala mehmesê bikî. Destpêkê, we ji kîjan wextî çêkiriye? I would like you to tell us a bit about the roastery. First, since when have you built this?
Welleh ez ev qas zêde nêzîk... min nizanî wextek da, min nizanî evqas tişt... karê min ê destpêk... di nav ev kar de be... me çênekir. By God, I can't say exactly... I didn't know at that time, I didn't know so much... my first job... would be in this business... we didn't build it.
Ev bavê te jî çêdikir yan tu yî? Did your father also do this, or is it you?
Na, cudê min e. No, my grandfather.
Bapîrê te? Your grandfather?
Belê. Yes.
Te fikra we ji ku hat bo dikanê da ve mehmesê vekir? Where did you get the idea to open this roastery in the shop?
Em ji gundekî Şaroyê me. Mane xizmeta gundê me ji keremê gundê me ji keda me re bînin. Û em dîtin em gund dervane de me em diçin derbar, Amûdê, Tirbespiyê. Hemî gundên me ji we tê. Em belav dikin li Efrîn, derê Efrîn, xelkê me yê Efrîn jî de tê... We are from the village of Sharo. We want to bring service to our village thanks to our labor. And we saw that we go outside to Amude, Tirbespiye. All our villages come to us. We distribute to Afrin, the outskirts of Afrin, our people from Afrin also come...
Evqas, em bêjin ku tu bi tenê yî, te ev kar derxistiye? Can we say that you are the only one who started this business?
Em li gundê xwe jî me dî. Me gundê xwe dît ku hewce me. Em bi hemû cîranan jî... We saw it in our village. We saw that our village needed it. We, along with all the neighbors...
Noka li gund e yan dorhêl û gundê din? Now is it just the village or the surroundings and other villages?
Erê, gundê dor me jî hene. Yes, there are also the villages around us.
Û mukeserat hûn tevziyê kê dikin? And to whom do you distribute the nuts?
Em difroşin, Qamişlo, Cizîrê heye, Şam, yanê ew dera. Xelkê me jî... me mehmes hene dawe... kar ji me dixwestin yanê. We sell, to Qamishlo, Cizire, Damascus, I mean those places. Our people also... we have roasteries there... they asked us for work, I mean.
Em qala karkerên wê bikin... çend karker di mehmesê de kar dikin? Let's talk about the workers... how many workers work in the roastery?
Noka da pênc am deh, me re hene. Currently we have about five or ten.
Xwecî yan dikan û dorhêl e...? Locals, or from the shop and surroundings...?
Ne, xwecî yan na di her kes di cîhê xwe de ye. Niha Heleb ji min dixwaze e... Efrîn ji min dixwaze... No, not locals, everyone is in their own place. Now Aleppo wants from me... Afrin wants from me...
Cevelên wan çawa, cûrê wan çend çêdikin tu? How about their loads, how many varieties do you make?
Ne em kefa nakin em meslehat nakin... We xtiyar der çêkir... No, we don't do foam, we don't do businesses... We prepared it completely...
Mebesta te, te xebreta xwe... karkerên te... You mean, your experience... your workers...
Ne em ew tecrube ji kesî negirt, me ew ewqas tişt bi xebata xwe dît... Em gî tecrube bûn, fêr bûn, em çêdikin. No, we didn't take that experience from anyone, we gained all that experience through our own work... We all became experienced, learned, and now we produce.
Ku zehmetî de wî tiştî dikir we ... çi te dît? If you faced difficulties doing this... what did you see?
Wexta me dest pê kir, karkera... wextê ku em ne gihîştin, me... tiştên qenc am tînin. When we started, the workers... when we didn't reach our goals, we... we bring good things.
Kêm bûn karker... weqta kar dikir elektrîk zehmet bû? There was a lack of workers... when you worked, was electricity an issue?
Na ez mozo karker... mişterî zehmet bû... No, the issue wasn't the workers... the customers were the difficulty...
Û hûn xwestin pêş de herin... hûn daxwaza xwe ji destpêkê ... And you wanted to progress... your desire from the beginning...
Em daxwazên e... daxwazên wê mezin in... we we... We want to... its demands are huge... you...
We daxwaz dît ku mehmesê... derve welat... Did you see the demand for the roastery... abroad...
Belê, niha me nû dest pê kir noka me daxwaz da dervayî. Yes, we just started now, we have requests from abroad.
Noka pirsyek me din heye da ew dolar davê rabe... yan xwar dibe... Now we have another question, when the dollar rises... or falls...
De zirara me ji wî heye wele... We take a loss from that, by God...
Wek çawa ew zirara wî dike? How does it cause you a loss?
Mesela me tişt di wexta bist dolarî kirrî... noka em de bi pênc û bîst dollar bifiroşin. Likan ew reqem wê daxwaz bike, de dakeve bîst dolaran de bi giranî ye... For example, we bought something for twenty dollars... now we might sell it for twenty-five dollars. But when they request that amount, it might drop to twenty dollars, which is hard...
Yanî am wek bêjin ew wext... ew weqta bo te giran be... me we buha ye? So we can say that... that time was hard for you... it was expensive?
Na ew zirar wî gelek heye ew weqte ku bi taybetî tişt me bi qaçaxî difiroşîn, zehmet bû. No, it causes a lot of loss, especially at the time when we used to sell things illegally, it was difficult.
Spasiya te dikim. I thank you.
Ser çava. Saet xweş. You are welcome. Have a good time.
Saeta we xweş be, welle we evqas we qedrê we heye. Û hêvî dikim xebata we her we be û serkeftî be. Have a good time, by God you have this much value. And I hope your work continues and is successful.
Zor spas. Thank you very much.

Ehlen û sehlen. Welcome.
Emê te nas bikin? Shall we get to know you?
Navê min Ciwan Ebdo Tirik e, ji gundê Şaran e. My name is Ciwan Ebdo Tirik, from the village of Sharan.
Nika me dît te gelekî xweşik li tembûrê dixist, em dixwazin bizanibin tu çawa hîn bûyî? Now we saw you playing the tanbur very beautifully, we want to know how you learned?
Bi Xwedê însan giş meraq in. Însan giş meraq in, meraqek yekî li ser tiştekî hebe... By God, humans are all curious. Humans are all curious, if someone has a curiosity about something...
Ê gelekî jê hez bike. Na, na, liser dewam bike ew baraj bike, ewê bike ev bihalê min, ê... And he likes it a lot. No, no, keep doing it, keep going, he will do this in my situation, yes...
Min ji gava emrê min şeş salî bû. I was six years old when I started.
Yanî min muhebek hebû, an ku ne ji bîra min nayê. Ji xwedê de min ji mûzîka hez dikir û fann û der û tiştên wilo weha ne... I mean I had a hobby, or I don't remember. By God, I liked music and art and places and such things...
Rûkek ez jî di navê de rûniştim, daxwaz çikir, min tu tişt nizanî, ji bo daxwaz min sivingek hebû. Once I also sat inside, he made a request, I didn't know anything, for the request I had a broom.
Min pêşkar dikir pê hembêza xwe û wele wekî tembûrê min lêdixist. I was playing it with my embrace and by God, I was playing it like a tanbur.
Kalê min hat, dî ha weha bi xwe di... hat dît... min ez dîtibûm ji min re mamiya... My grandfather came, saw it like this with himself... he came, saw... he had seen me, he bought for me...

Hoy nemê go delal delal delal delal delal delal delaloy delal. Oh, dear, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, oh, beautiful.
Hoy nemê go delal delal loloy delal oy. Oh, dear, beautiful, beautiful, oh, beautiful, oh.
Lêlê başo ro, lo welle tu ... hoy delal delal delal delaloy delal. Oh... oh, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, oh, beautiful.
Derdê dikişînim wa te ye, derman çare li ba te ye. The pain I suffer is because of you, the cure and remedy are with you.
Qeder, qeder... bejn û boyçê te ye. Destiny, destiny... is your stature and height.
Derdê dikişînim weza te ye, derman çare li ba te ye. The pain I suffer is for you, the cure and remedy are with you.
Qeder... bejn û boyçê te ye, baş e weh tê ye. Destiny... is your stature and height, it is good like that.
Lê hey Sîsê nar Sîsê, dêlka werê wez dîn kirim. Oh Sise, Sise, this crazy girl drove me mad.
Destê kirim çolê xistim, nizanim e, nizanim xayîn Sîsê. Took me by the hand and threw me in the desert, I don't know, I don't know traitor Sise.
Lê hey Sîsê nar Sîsê, dêlka werê wez dîn kirim. Oh Sise, Sise, this crazy girl drove me mad.
Destê kirim çolê xistim, nizanim e, nizanim xayîn Sîsê. Took me by the hand and threw me in the desert, I don't know, I don't know traitor Sise.
Destên te sax bin, saeta te xweş be. Bless your hands, bless your time.
Gelek spas. Thank you very much.
Min nizanîbû tu tenê li tembûrê dixî, min nizanîbû tu distirê jî. I didn't know you only played the tembur, I didn't know you also sang.
Çi wextî hînî vî tiştî bûyî? When did you learn this?
Bi Xwedê ez bi wextê re fêr bûm, bi wextê re min dest pê kir, welleh. By God I learned with time, with time I started, swear to God.
Kesî tu perwerde dikirî an te bi xwe? Did someone train you or by yourself?
Bi xwedê yanî ... hîç kes ... anî ji ber ku bavê min ... xwediyê min jî ... ez wek wî bûm. By God I mean... no one... I mean because my father... my master also... I was like him.
Û di destpêkê de, min... ez bi xwe bi dengê xwe dizanim, ne xweş e... ew qas nexweş e... And in the beginning, I... I myself know my voice, it's not good... it's so unpleasant...
Em perwerde û tiştên wisa tunebûn... min hinekî pê re... We had no training and such things... I slightly with it...
Bi tembûrê min nedizanî, lê min bi xwe dest pê kir û fêr bûm... elhemdulilah. I didn't know the tembur, but I started by myself and learned... thank God.
Yanî teqrîben salek û nîv min hîn kir, min dewam kir. Û welleh... wisa. I mean, I learned for about a year and a half, I continued. And swear to God... like that.
Em çûn Helebê, du salan ew jî ma li wir, min tembûr nexist. We went to Aleppo, it stayed there for two years, I didn't play the tembur.
Wexta ku em vegeriyan, careke din min dest pê kir û ... When we returned, I started again and...
Dîsa em hîn bûn, fêrî deng, awaz û stranan bûm û... We learned again, I learned voices, melodies and songs and...
Alhamdulillah, ev e encam, û em bi hêviya xwedê berdewam dikin. Thank God, this is the result, and God willing we are continuing.
Serkeftinê ji te re dixwazim, spas. Saeta te xweş be. I wish you success, thank you. Bless your time.
Gelek spas, ser çavan, spas ji we re jî. Thank you very much, you're welcome, thank you too.
Belê temaşevanên me yên hêja, niha em gihîştin dawiya xeleka bernameya xwe, bernameya Gund û Welat. Yes our dear viewers, now we have reached the end of our program's episode, the program Gund û Welat (Village and Country).
Bêguman ku ev xelek we xweş dîtibe, û rûniştibe, û we jê hez kiribe... Surely you found this episode pleasant, and it settled well, and you liked it...
...Û ecibandibe. Ez ê ji navçeya Şêrawayê xatir ji we bixwazim. ...And enjoyed it. I will bid you farewell from the Sherawa district.
Di hevdîtinên nû de, em we di emaneta xwedê de dihêlin. In new meetings, we leave you in God's trust.
Xatirê we. Goodbye.
